Video: Michelle Rodriguez Swaps Punches With Fantastic Fest Organizer

Avatar star Michelle Rodriguez, who demonstrated a nifty left hook in 2000’s Girlfight, put on boxing gloves Sunday in Austin, Texas, where she hammered Fantastic Fest co-founder Tim League until they both collapsed on the mat in a writhing heap.

As shown in the clip above, a debate about Avatar‘s Oscar-worthiness turned pugilistic after Rodriguez told the mohawk-wearing League, “I’m here to kick your ass.”

Fantastic Fest, a genre film festival held at Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse each year, runs through Sept. 30.
